A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair seated on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned seat, facing right. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned shawl draped over his shoulders and torso, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant and several gold beads, and a red wrist thread. Before him rests a silver ceremonial staff across his lap. Behind him, seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill the hall, some with white and orange garments and forehead markings. A woman in a yellow sari with glasses smiles at right beside a Yamaha keyboard. The background shows a large red and orange banner and a crowded assembly, all softly blurred. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rust-red saffron shawl, and heavy gold necklace with pendant on a silver throne.
